Night

I want to sleep on this bench.

I want to please roll around in the dark grass under the sweeping sky

I want to chat with the chirping crickets and the insistent breeze

I want to have a staring contest with the moon

I want to share the air with my green friends

I want to plant my feet into the deep soil

I want to embrace the entirety of this land

I want, above all, to thank my Creator for this earthly heaven
